After installation and importing, its usage is 100% transparent against abjad's standard dialect. Remember that abjad tends to use:

fromabjadimport*

Then you only have to do

%run../src/abjad-nb.py

And everything will be inlined on the notebooks. This works by redefining the show function. The new function will also convert multi-page output.

This was tested on Python 3 with abjad from github (not the current stable - 2.14 - which does not support Python 3). If you want to use Python 2 and encounter any problems, please contact me. The code should work with 2.14, but the examples below will not.

I believe that the interactive/collaborative enviroment of IPython notebook is a perfect match for score writing.
